You used to make logical comments. That is not one of them. The first iPhone, as utterly shitful as it was, did kickstart innovation in the mobile industry. I could go on, but I'm betting you know this. At the same time, it is my belief that there is no one driver of innovation in the mobile industry anymore. Apple have driven 'their' innovations, and acted like little bitches with big lawyers on retainer if anyone reinvents these features. Samsung have their innovations, as do HTC and even Nokia. Any time someone comes up with something genuinely innovative, the others come up with something the same or similar enough. This is a good thing for us, as consumers. You're half right. About 25-50% of iPhone owners are the "iSheeple" that Aaron refers to, and they wanted a thinner, lighter phone. Couldn't happen without changing the adaptor mechanism. The physical size difference between the old dock connector and the new 'lightening' connector is crazy. The new converter adaptors are also ingenious in how they work, but you'd have a hard time convincing me that it was easier to do the adaptive pin assignment they've done from 30pin to 8pin adaptors than it was to do 30pin to 4pin micro USB. There is a totally logical reason for Apple being 'different'. They're a marketing machine more than an engineering firm. They differentiate their products from the OS to the supply chain. They do an excellent job, sales figures reflect this. Is it for everyone? No way. But as Aaron points out, their marketing rules. Why can't anyone make some educated arguments from time to time, rather than just bang on about 'iSheeple' and 'retards'?

What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Mmm it needs to go in to stop the boost spiking. Probably better to just put it in and drive it carefully than let the turbo spike to 20PSI for another couple of weeks. Especially when I'm on holidays and will be using it. -

Geddit. I still think there must be some way of looping the signal though... In other news, actuator turned up today Scott, thanks! Will try and fit tonight. -
Did Steve Jobs touch you as a child? You have a completely irrational hatred towards Apple that goes beyond their products.

I wonder how close the O2 correction on the F-con would be to stock ECU correction? As in, would the ECU see something good/close enough? I'll probably end up with the Cipher cable in the new year anyway, easier to sort out than a code reader and more versatile. I just don't want the light firing and masking another issue. Target AFR seems to be useful, and easy to implement (which I think was what Scotty was talking about in a backhanded kind of way ). Whether it'll replicate the stock ECU in the same kind of way I don't know, but I doubt it. Yeah its pretty good Leon, more research to clear random codes is required, but other than that it's good. 8k rev limit is a bit high for my liking, but other than that it's got a fair bit of shove. Be interesting to see what it does on the dyno with Scotty's upgraded spring, holding 15PSI not 7... -

You can do correction based on wideband in the fcon, might be worth trying just to see if it clears the code. I don't see the issue Scotty. So you trust a 10 year old O2 sensor but not a brand new wideband? -

i don't, no. Is this something the Cypher cable can do?I'm sure there would be a way to loop the signal back. AFRs look fine on the wideband so I'm sure they're not actually changing. -
Worn Control Arm Bushes. Whats That?

Mine don't squeak. Awesome result. Only squeak I have is somewhere in the back, but haven't replaced any bushes back there. -

Drove home today, fault code free until not far from home... when the left bank lean and some kind of left bank voltage error codes popped up. Throttle is still fine though, I'll have to see if I can find some kind of solution. Fingers crossed! Car is now sitting out the back... tomorrow night I should start on the cooling overhaul. Unless the Scotty Actuator turns up tomorrow, in which case I'll be chucking that in -

What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?
bigkevracer replied to Hanso's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Nope. I can't find a blank table referring to throttle mapping, and according to the tuner a blank F-con table should leave the ECU to control that function. They have no idea what caused the fault, but I'll just have to keep an eye on it and if it reoccurs its either a problem with the throttle position sensor or a problem with the wiring harness for the cruise control. Shitloads better though. SHITLOADS! -

Had the tune sorted out this morning. Idles much nicer now, and throttle is sorted. Fault code was throttle circuit, had some weird behaviours (like fault light going on and off with throttle press/release with the stock ECU plugged in), but after clearing everything, resetting, and verifying, it now feels really good. Now to enjoy it! -
Mishimoto Radiator (New In Box)

You know that's funny, mine has what I thought were trams cooler fittings too, but Mishi say manual only... -

Yes Dave, you'll need a separate auto trans cooler. PM wagon_boy, he just replaced his and he might want to get rid of his old one (which is exactly the same B&M that I'm fitting shortly). -

Stupid farking ECU. Must be a way to trick it. Also noticed boost seems to be spiking which wasn't seen on the dyno sheets first time around. Scotty's wastegate mod will be here soon, hopefully that settles the boost down. -

Sounds like hooking the wideband up should fix it. Pretty sure my harness is setup to feed that signal back to the stock ECU. But if that's what it's doing we'll work it out tomorrow and I'll see if we can find a fix. Is it presenting as left bank lean? -
Which One Would You Choose?
bigkevracer replied to bunnybash's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Depends what you're looking for, second one isn't an ARX but has a couple of different options. I'd budget about $2k for the turbo too, but it depends on what you go for and who fits it. -

bigkevracer replied to bunnybash's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Looks ok. I know you're not planning on doing much modifying, but budget for a dump pipe and full exhaust, and a turbo, because unless they've been replaced already they'll need to be done. -
